BSL Doesn't work

​Scientific studies, veterinary, canine, and public safety experts agree that BSL (breed-specific legislation) and breed-specific dog bans are ineffective and a waste of public resources. Even worse, they are discriminatory towards responsible owners and they punish dogs based solely on their appearance or assumed breed, sometimes resulting in the seizure of loved pets that have done nothing wrong. RepealBSL.org is a grassroots project that provides resources for combating BSL and breed-discriminatory bans.
